Candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the November governorship election in Kogi State, Dr Umar Akwu Goodman, at the weekend, said the people of the state were already tired of recycled leaders and emperors and would be voting for what he described as real change during the poll.
He vowed that the era of dictatorship was gone in the state, insisting that the era when someone governing the state would have bank account that is fatter than that of the state was equally gone.
Umar spoke after being unveiled at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.
The unveiling was done by the National Chairman of the party, Dr Victor Oye.
According to Umar, the people of the state would live to thank APGA for giving him to the state, going by the magnitude of developmental projects to be executed by his administration.
“It is only APGA that can bring change to Kogi. The people there at other parties are corrupt and failed. We are tired of recycling same people; we are tired of emperors. APGA is out to save the state.
“Situation in Kogi is as rotten as that of an egg which is of no value to anybody; they have polluted Kogi.
“I am ready to work and reposition the state. I am the real change. The other candidates are just being recycled; they are not changing anything but we are out to transform and move Kogi forward, there is no alternative for Kogi. I know what the problems of the people are; I am their servant. What I have offered to do is to serve the people that have given me so much,” he said.
“My manifesto is all about development. We are going to hit the ground running. We don’t have 100 days to work; every day, there is going to be development,” he added.
